My research focuses on the low frequency variability in the coupled, ocean-atmosphere North Atlantic climate system and its impact on the adjacent continents' hydroclimate and society, including North America, Northwestern Europe, as well as parts of Northwestern Africa (Sahel, Guinea) and South America (Brazil). Furthermore, I am interested in identifying the respective contributions of long-term trends and decadal-to-multidecadal climate signals to regional warming (cooling) and fluctuations in oceanic heat uptake and other key hydrographic properties that link surface variability to subsurface pertrubations.

Some of my completed research work, on the extent to which principal, 20th Century, atmosphere-ocean coupled, climate model simulations participating in the Intergovernental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC - AR5) project capture the spatiotemporal evolution and climate impact of AMO over North America, Greenland, North-Eastern Brazil, the African Sahel and parts of Northern Europe, has been published in Climate Dynamics, a leading international journal, among the top-three climate science journals based on ISI's 2012 ranking of impact factors and also cited in the latest (5th) Assessment Report of the IPCC.
